Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 12 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“An appellant raising an error as plain error on appeal “must shoulder the heavy burden of demonstrating that the alleged misconduct raises a substantial and important question.” Garroutte v. State, 508 P.2d 1190, 1191 (Alaska 1973). Furthermore, such error must be “obviously prejudicial.” Bowker v. State, 373 P.2d 500, 505 (Alaska 1962); Kugzruk v. State, 436 P.2d 962, 964 (Alaska 1968). “Where the misconduct fails to rise to the level of plain error, considerations of judicial economy dictate that we deal with the matter summarily.” Garroutte v. State, supra, at 1191.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The general rule is that any criminal offense or element of an offense may be established by circumstantial evidence unless there is an express requirement to the contrary. 1 C. Torcia, Wharton’s Criminal Evidence § 6, at 4-5 (13th ed. 1972). Randall v. State, 583 P.2d 196, 198 (Alaska 1978) (footnote omitted).”
